-------Mary Maloney Journal-------
(School work-Mary's journal)
This fateful day, where Patrick died. It all began on my much anticipated Thursday evening. Lying on the sofa, I waited for him, he was later than usual but i still do it without regrets. The doorbell rang and I did not know why I was so excited at that time. However, that was the beginning of me, still so innocent, far from the real reality.
I greeted Patrick with a big smile on my chin, only to suffer his grey and dull face. He stomped in. My much innocent self went to him, trying all ways to please him, only to be rejected and ignored. At that time, for some reason i still love him, willing to serve him even to be treated as a slave is fine with me. Is it wrong to be submisive and loving? Patrick wasn't like this, he was a good man,so loving and faithful. It all changed, after he changed his job, he changed. He was rude, ill-mannered, aggressive and so unhappy with me. I tolerated his nonsense, but was dying to find out why he became such a cold-hearted man.
My question was finally answered, that Thursday, he sat down giving me a cold shoulder doing man unusual things he would not do. I smelt a rat and the next second, he said he was LEAVING me! I gasped, dumfounded, thinking hard why this was happening, it was a moment of weaknss. I forgot to mention, i was pregnant and i'm just a simple wife who just needs her husband's company. But why? why should i suffer such ill-fate? Such a god wife like me don't deserves this ill-treatment! Immediately, I used the frozen lamb leg and swung it down on the wretched man. He collapsed like a deck of cards, he was dead and I would die without any regrets now................

Learning Profile
My learning profile is "INTRAPERSONAL".
I took a multiple inteligent test which found out my learning styles. after taking more than 50 questions about myself, I found out that my learning style is "intrapersonal". The test compromises of many different questions and most about what things i do best, what am I interested in and many other questions about my information and most importantly, determine my suitable learning style.
Personally I feel that the multiple intelligent test which determines my learning style is very helpful as it essential for good learning. I shall elaborate why.(giving reasons)
1.To make our learning suitable for each of us.
2.If we learn things that we are not interested in or is very weak in that area, we would not learn well and hence, this multiple intelligent test is essential for us.
Lastly i would like to conclude that the learning styles are indeed impotant and would have good implications on us.

Cross-country race
On 24th Feburary 2010, wednesday, it was the hwachong annual cross-country race. Being a cross-country runner, i know how tiring the run was however, I was ready to give it my all. I also new that there are also many excellent runners.
Example:
-Jack Tan(1O3)
-Lam Ziha(1O3)
-Other very good runners like Nan tian and Joel from other class
As a result I have no room for mistakes or it would cost me my race. As the competition approaches, I was indeed very nervous. However, seeing seeig my classmates and friends support, I am ready to run as fast as I could. The horn blared and i immediately started the "3"km race. If you want to know why I put the " " , then read on!
I have to admit, it was really tiring and the other competitiors are really gving me a fight other the championship title. We approach the boarding school and as we were about to make our way down the original route, the ursher and a few peple from NCC told us to run straight to another path we have not lay our fingers on before. I was feeling really weird but so as not to waste time arguing on the routes, 7 pupils(including me) went the 4 km route for the Sec 2,3 and 4 instead!Halfway, I was with mixed feelings, at first I thought that competitive runners had to run an impromtu extra round, just to find out I was hopelessly wrong! As i was returning to the original route, I saw many people ahead of me. Even so, I was feeling even weirder until a point where I saw Tiet Gan. He was in front of me and was shocked to see me behind him. At that point of time, I was really wondering what is going on? Completing the race, I saw many people ahead of me, tired and exhausted from running more. However, I went to a teacher to ask what was going on. With the seven people(inluding Jack and Zihan) we protested against 4 teachers and at last Mr Tok explained to us. He said he could not help as he had to abide by the competiton rules. I undestand that he is in a spot but I was at the same time quite angry as Jack and Zihan were. After hearing Mr Tok speech, I no longer feel that and try my best to work hard for next year. Mr tok could not do anything but I respect him for trying so. Although I was really disapointd and angry that I did not have the trophy but I have learnt a valuable lesson on this event and together, with 1O3, we would work hard next year and put our best foot forward for other races!

The way up to heaven & Lamb to the laughter
In both stories, "the way up to heaven" and "Lamb to the slaughter", stories by Roald Dalph, have many similarities and diffences but their content are very much the same.
Similarities:
(Husbands)
-Both husbands in each story are inhuman, giving their wife a cold shouler as if they do not care for them anymore.
-Again, both husbands find their wife a pain in the neck.In lamb to the slaughter, Patrick Maloney finds his wife too submissive which later left her, only to be killed.Then, in the way up to heaven, the husband knows that his wife hates being late and yet he purposely did his best to try to irritate her as he finds out that she is too much of a nuisance.In the end, both husbands are killed.
(Wifes)
-They are too rash on their decisions and as I have mentioned before in my previous post, they chose the hard way round to avoid reality and killed their husband.
-They changed their personality and have a totally different character from the start.We would not imagined them to be such vicious killers.
Differences:
(Husband)
-Patrick Maloney was really mean and his wife did not mean anything to him but in the way up to heaven, Mr Foster tried to irritate his wife but did not mean a lot harm to Mrs Foster.
(Wife)
-In Lamb to the slaughter , Mary Maloney turns out to be a shrewd and vicious murderer and planned every detail of the murder just to escape law unlike Mrs Foster. Mrs Foster murder was by leaving Mr Foster trapped in the lift.
Overall, both stories have differences and similarities and portay how Roald Dalph use words to describe each character's characteristic and how the story is developed.

What are our thinking different from the past
In current affairs on Friday, 19th of Feburary, we discussed many things. One of them are how our thinking are differnet from the thinking of people in the past. A few of my class mates shared their opinions and had a great discussion. To add on, i feel that we young people take things for granted. Example, young children like to order maids aroung as if they were slaves even for a simple task like taking a drink. People from the past would certainly take their own initiative to do things.
It is most probably because they went through many hardships and do not take things for granted. They experienced the war and went through things that the young people never had or even imagined. As a result, the young people of today are less hardworking and not a spendthrift. They all want the most high-tech items-i phone, i-touch and all the expensive items. The past people had to scrimp and save to survive.
Overall, i think that the parents of the younger generation should not spoil them and let them be spoilt-rotten.

Chinese New Year
Hey everyone! It is the Chinese new year and this is probably the happiest event of the year right? You get to collect red packets, play game such as mahjhong, blackjack and poker, all my favourite games. Don't forget the new year goodies! What would Chinese new year be witout goodies? There are so many different types of food includng love letters, pineapple tarts, BBQ pork, so many others! My favourite is the pineapple tarts, they are so GOOD! If you haven't tried it, TRY IT NOW! What are your favourite new year goodies? Before that is the reunion dinner where there is an abundance of scrumptious food. There are pretty much too many things to eat. However, there are its ups and downs. After a few days of eating good food, personally, I feel that it is not so nice anymore. The new year goodies which appealed to me before, irks me at the sight of it. Overall, i feel sick of them now. So what do you guys feel? Feel free to comment and share your opinions.

My Change of Blog
Sorry for the inconvenince i have changed my original blog-"iamtanyuxaing.blogspot.com"
to my newblog which is this-"yuxiangsthename.blogspot.com" Thank You
to my newblog which is this-"yuxiangsthename.blogspot.com" Thank You
English-Mr and Mrs Maloney
Lamb to the slaughter:
Mr Maloney
BEFORE
He is a detective who probably care for his wife and loves her a lot. We can say that as they are almost together everyday and he takes his time off bringing his wife out for dinner every thursday.The chemistry between them is very strong and they are a happy couple.
AFTER
In the story, Mr Maloney was no more the loving husband but has a abosolute differnet personalities as compared to the starting. He bacme a cold-blooded human and did not care for anything else,including his once beloved wife, except for his work. He did not love her anymore and turns out to be callous and not bothering about her state of pregnancy. He is only concern of her not creating a big fuss out of it as it might affect his career and gave his wife a cold shoulder.
Mrs Maloney
BEFORE
At the start of the story, Mary Maloney portrayed as a loving, tidy, submissive and beautiful wife. She was almost perfect and has great housekeeping skills and to her, her husband was the most important thing in her life. She was a simple-minded, innocent lady who expects nothing much except for her husband's company and that, to her was the most blssful thing she could ever have.
AFTER
At the later part of the story, She was a short-tempered, full with rage and a person who does not want to face reality and choose to do things the hard way.She was too rash at some point of time and did not think the consequences before she react. Mary Maloney seems to be a shrewd, calculative and a great actress to fool other cops into believing that the culprit was not her. She lack of emotions and a caring heart to his husband when he died and all she cared about was how to escape the situation without getting caught. As a wife of a detective, she could plan very well how to escape the death sentence and from a innocent, submissive wife to a vicious and prepared murderer. She was a total different person from the Mary Maloney we knew from the starting.
In conclusion people face turn ugly when they are in anger.Reckless people such as Mrs Maloney was too rash and should learn to have self-control for it is not the right thing to do. Further more,she was a nice woman at first so she have good in her. I learnt a phrasein my lesson- "What lies in our power to do, it lies in our not to do" everyone has a choice- like how Mary Maloney had whether to kill her husband
